The Centre for Global Disability Studies (CGDS)https://globaldisabilitystudies.ca/about/ at the University of Toronto Scarborough is pleased to announce the first event of the 2023 Critical Conversations series. This annual series brings together scholars, activists, and researchers to discuss timely issues that impact global disability justice and seeks to uphold CGDS values of promoting accessibility in academic conversations, building interdisciplinary community, and supporting anti-ableist scholarship and activism that furthers anti-colonial and transnational perspectives.

See below for session description and registration details for the first event of three in the series:

Dreaming Pilipinx Disability Studies: Tracing Diasporic Crip Intimacies

When: May 10th, 3:00 – 4:30pm EST

Where: Zoom webinar (connection details to be shared with registrants closer to event date)

Organizer: Graduate Research Assistant Fellow Jose Miguel (Miggy) Esteban

Panelists:

  • Dr. Sony Coráñez Bolton (he/him), Assistant Professor, of Spanish and Latinx and Latin American Studies, Amherst College
  • Dr. Pau Abustan, Ph.D. (they/siya), Assistant Professor of Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies, California State University, Los Angeles
  • Walter Rafael Villanueva (he/him), PhD Candidate, Department of English, University of Toronto
  • Jose Miguel (Miggy) Esteban (he/him), PhD Student, Department of Social Justice Education, OISE, University of Toronto

Event Description: Pilipinx/Filipinx Studies presents a way to critically engage the question of "the global" within Disability Studies. In turn, Disability Studies invites Pilipinx/Filipinx communities to reinterpret our diasporic movements and gestures. How might bringing together these two orientations offer theoretical spaces to reveal the imperial and colonial intimacies that shape diasporic being? How could work committed to weaving together these two orientations create the embodied spaces to release different intimacies of crip becomings? This panel conversation brings together a group of Pilipinx/Filipinx scholars, educators, artists, and activists engaging within Disability Studies to explore what a Pilipinx Disability Studies could work and dream toward.
